This meeting, the larg-est and most representative of its type ever to be assembled, featured the participation of over forty Na-tional Unions of Students from all areas of the globe. First Conference The First Iinternational Student Conference was convoked in Decem-ber 1950 after it had become appar-ent that cooperation with the In-ternational Union of Students, an organization which many have termed ""the student section of the Cominform"", was impossible be-cause of its non-representative na-ture and partisan political orienta-tion. At the Second International Student Conference, held the fol-lowing year in Edinburgh, a Co-ordinating Secretariat was estab-lished to serve as the administra-tive bridge between Conferences. Since its inception four years ago, the International Student Con-ference has grown greatly both in size and scope of activity, and now stands as the only medium through which students, organized in Na-tional Unions, can meet for the pur-pose of cooperation on an equal and non-partisan basis. The annual Con-ference operates upon a system of ""delegated responsibilities"" where-by National Unions agree to under-take the responsibility for various practical programs. The Istanbul meeting initially was subdivided into four program commissions to consider the reports of National Unions on their in-dividual progress and to plan future projects. Included among the problems discussed were those of student travel, study abroad, stu-dent sport, seminars and camps, student influence of university ad-ministrations, scholarships, student health, student economic and social affairs, and an international stu-dent identity card enabling holders (Continued on pg. 2, col. 3) NSA History United States National Student Association, which is now holding a regional session at Towson, is a confederation of student govern-ments. NSA represents college student bodies through their own demo-cratically elected student govern-ments. It was created to serve the long-existing need for a representa-tive intercollegiate organization designed to serve the American stu-dent community, and to promote student's interests and welfare. Started 1946 It was started in 1946 when 25 American students, returning from the World Student Congress in Prague, Czechoslovakia, conceived the idea of forming a United States National Student Association. At that request, congress became aware of the fact that the United States stood alone without a repre-sentative national student group. Not until September 1947 was the constitution nor the mapped program for the newly-formed United States National Student Association, established by a repre-sentation of over 350 colleges. Membership Any college, university, junior college, normal school or technical school can join the National Stu-dent Association upon ratification of its constitution and payment of annual dues. NSA's membership in-cludes more than 300 institutions. NSA's aims and purposes are to maintain academic freedom, stimu- (Continued on pg. 2, col. 1) He is officially a councilor for vo-cational guidance. His specialty along this line is motivation of students for academic work. He does not base everything on apti-tude tests. He works on the angles of how can students be motivated for their work. He knows that many times students are low on aptitude tests and high scholastic-ally because they have a proper motivation. Dr. Weigand is very interested in students who are eternally in mischief; what makes them do this; why do these things happen to them? Dean Weigand will not stay on campus because he lives in Tow-son; however, he will be present at all meals to meet students inform-ally and really get to know the stu-dents and their problems. He is the advisor for the Big Sisters League at Maryland which is similar to the Freshman Ad-visory Council on the � Towson campus. Dean Weigand is married and has four young boys. He served five years in the infantry during World War II. Three and one-half years of this time was spent in the Pacific Theatre. Saturday evening Dr. Earle T. Hawkins, president of the College and James Addy, president of the Student Government Association will welcome all of the delegates to the Towson College. Friday Evening 7-9 P.M. 9:00 P.M.
